She’s sick

Posted on by Shawshank

I took the afternoon off from work. She said I didn’t have to, but no one should be sick by themselves. I ate two bites of my ramen, and walked back to work to tell BossLady that I’d see her next week.

Stopped at the store, grabbed some crackers, and a ginger ale for Crystal.

She took another rapid COVID test – negative.

She’s sleeping beside me as I wash her clothes.

I texted mom saying that we’d probably not come by for dinner tonight.

I don’t want want her to be sick.

I don’t want her to leave.

I’m so very very close to tears.

I wish I could say “please don’t go. I don’t know if I can live alone again. These 5 weeks have been the first 5 weeks of not feeling alone.”

I don’t want to be by myself again.

I’m scared of the silence to come.

I hope you get feeling better.

I love you so much.

So give them blood, blood, gallons of the stuff

Good morning all you party people. Welcome to Thursday. Normally I’d be all excited about the upcoming weekend.

Not this time. I don’t want Saturday to arrive.

Last night we went over to a friends for dinner. BossLady cooked. She’s a pretty good cook, considering I don’t see her eat very often, and when she does – she uses the microwave.

Then I dropped off Crystal at the Flat, and then dropped off the truck at Shady Acres, and walked home.

Don’t make her leave, please

Crazy that the prices for the rapid tests are going up. I went to town hall, and asked for a couple of tests. I was asked how many people in the household.

2, I said.

I got two boxes of tests. 5 tests per box.

For free.

Relax, I’m positive I’ve passed.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

The snow has stopped, until Friday. It’s just going to be cold and windy out.

I don’t want her to leave.

It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late

Good morning. Welcome to Tuesday. Yep, it’s back to work this dark and cold morning. Coffee is ready to drink, and technically, I should be ready to greet the day.

Should be.

I don’t want to go to work today. I want to stay in the couch with Crystal. She leaves in a few days. I don’t want her to leave. I know she has to.

But it still sucks major ass.

But I digress.

Let’s make the most of the time left!

That is what I shall do!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Everything is bleak it’s the middle of the night

Good morning everyone. It’s dark dark out. And, I think it’s getting cold again. The news just had a graphic up – there were 4 or 5 days that were above freezing, the rest were below freezing.

Isn’t that something, huh?

I forgot to turn on the timer of the coffee last night, so I had to turn it on like a hobo this morning.

Unacceptable.

I mean who wants to wait for coffee to brew?

Today, we’ll finish The Twilight Saga today. 3 movies to go.

Snuggles for three movies. Perfection.
